Succession - fantastic drama about a powerful new York right wing media family which seems to be loosely based on a mix of the Murdochs and Trumps. It's basically about family relationships and dynamics.

2 series of 10 episodes each, with the 3rd season starting in the autumn, and I can't recommend it highly enough..

I just started Cobra Kai, on about episode 6, I actually love it . It's basically teen trash yes but I LOVE teen trash. It's like The OC except WITH KARATE, and if there's one thing that could have improved The OC, it's Karate.

Although it did have some cage fighting

Absolutely ploughed through this and have caught up to the end of S3 already . I thought it was great. I loved the "Karate Kid from Johnny's perspective" part in S1 . I actually watched Karate Kid a few months ago with my eldest for the first time in probably decades, and I said to my wife, "You know... Daniel-san is actually a bit of a dick..." .

That was hilarious, that was definitely taken from that youtube video, did you see it where they have Daniel as being the actual bully

There's a comic book that shows Johnny's side of the story in The Karate Kid.

First time I bought a comic in quite a while.

Gintama - I'm on the last arc, and I've got to say it has been a very good Show overall. I'm not gonna lie I've had issues with the Anime at some points (understandably given it's meshing of so many styles) but overall the Anime is very well made imo with some fantastic humour, and in later on arcs some great action & storytelling as well.

Beck - I've watched the first two episodes so far and I personally have enjoyed both episodes, it's not gonna be to everybody's taste, and in fairness neither episode blew my mind, but it's doing the basics right which is good characters that you don't want to throttle, and a decent story for what it's going for. Plus the OP & ED are both amazing imo.

To Your Eternity - Again I've only watched the first two episodes so far, and I know that it was seen as the number one Anime of it's season so there's a lot of hype going into this one. The first episode imo was okay but a bit slow paced for my taste (an interesting conclusion though) but the second episode surprisingly pulled me in, I really like the setup of how they've got this particular story going at the moment, I'm hoping that it can keep it up for me.

Buffy The Vampire Slayer - I've let my family convince me to give this Show another chance after failing to get into it years ago. And imo after watching a couple of episodes of Season 2, it's fine for what it is doing, but for me I personally get irritated whenever the Show tries to go dramatic (in particular with Xander being the worst offender) when I personally enjoy the Show more when it is going either psychological or just a bit kooky with it's concepts. For me the only characters I've not wanted to throttle so far are Giles & Willow, Giles in particular is a character that I do really like.

Gungrave - Again I've only watched two episodes of this Anime so far, but it is definitely my least favourite at the moment surprisingly. My main issue with the Show is that Brandon has no personality, and the episodes travel at a snail pace. However the conclusions to both episodes have been good so I'm hoping that's a sign that the Show will start picking up for me.

I'm mainly watching Anime because there's only so much American TV that I can handle.
